Yes, this seems to be the case.


The problem was eventually resolved by running "automake --add-missing"
in the top directory _after_ prebuild.sh was run once, and then running
prebuild.sh again...

This appeared to generate a symlink, compile->/usr/share/automake-1.14/compile
in unix/config/ . Then it configured and compiled properly.

Why does this not happen otherwise?
I have no idea.
